Today I did handstand step down bhs (with no arm swing) still not a tumbling pass but I'm getting there! Thanks for the encouragement everyone :)

Gymdog, Standing BHS are fine, and I can do standing back tucks too! It's really the connection that freaks my out Everyone else, thanks for the tips! I'll use your suggestions and keep working at it :)

Something else is that I'm a sophomore in high school, I don't want to have to take a break from gymnastics because I only have two years left after this, and I don't want to waste any time if that makes sense

I'm 16 and I've been doing roundoff back handsprings since the year I started gymnastics when I was about 10. It's a physically easy skill for me and I'm also capable of doing multiple back handsprings and back tucks and layouts. About 6 months ago I fell on my head during my BHS and after that...

Good job on your cartwheel! But I'm talking about back walkovers, which I think could be a little different, since they are blind when going back and are also a little harder for most gymnasts on floor. I'm not sure if the same coaching techniques apply, but I'm honestly very worried. He's...

I have a question. My coach has everyone learn their back walkovers without training them on the low beam first. Some of us (like me) have done them on the low beam before, but not consistently. Some of the girls have never trained a back walkover on low beam ever. He reuses to spot us and tells...

Ok thanks!

Thank you! Do you think the reason why my body it's ready for layouts is because of a lack of strength? Do you think if I worked on strength in different parts of my soy it would help?

I am a new level 6 gymnast who is currently having trouble learning my layout (IK, my layout is required but I am currently competing highschool season right now). I can do it flawlessly on a tumble track and know the timing of the skill, but when I try it on the regular floor it always turns...

I don't know what's going on, but I'm scared of almost everything right now! I'm scared of my flyaway, squat on, jump up beam mount, switch leap on beam, and a lot more! My first meet is TOMORROW! And I don't know what to do!! I want to be able to go for these skills and I know I can but I just...

Also sometimes referred to as a straddle up to high bar

I think it might be a Maloney, which is a release where you do a sole circle (like the old level 3 dismount) and let go to catch the high bar!

It's crazy! I'm a level 5 (technically 6, but I am only doing that because it's optionals and I am in high school, but I have mostly level 5 skills) and most of the people here talk about their 7 year old daughters on level 5 and I'm just like ummm... But don't worry about it! Just have fun and...

I started working on roundoffs on the beam with a red mat around it so it was slightly thicker and after a day my coach told me they were great and to start working them on the regular (low) beam. I can usually land the but they hurt my feet like crazy!!!! Any tips/exersizes/conditioning to help...

Thanks! I did it today and I'm not scared anymore!

My tip to you would be to perfect the timing. The cause of bent arms is because you're timing isn't right, forcing you to have to muscle it up. Make sure you are standing in a nice tall front support, and look at the highbar!!!! That would be my biggest tip, look at it for as long as you can...

I am currently trying to get my handspring full on vault. I can do a handspring pretty well beside the fact that my block isn't very good! My coach told me if i can learn to block better i would actually be able to do the full twist out of it, but I can't seem to get myself to block! Is this...

I am a level 6 gymnast, and I have been doing my R/O BHS BT's for 2+ years consistently. Earlier this year I was scared to go for it (even with a spot) for one day, but after going to camp and getting a break from gymnastics for a few weeks i could do it again fine. One day I was practicing...

I think this is a good idea because sometimes you need to be able to do a back walkover on the high beam to feel what it's like, but it's still low enough for you to be able to go for your back walkover confidentially! Start with the mats stacked up all the way on the highest beam, even if you...
